Recently, the first prototype of a 300 MW F-class heavy-duty gas turbine, independently developed by China, was finally assembled and produced in Lingang, Shanghai. HEU, as a participating unit in the project's basic research, has conducted effective work focused on the simulation experiment of the heavy-duty gas turbine combustion chamber, contributing to the final assembly of China's inaugural prototype.

JIN Zhuanglong, Minister of MIIT, attended the Final Assembly Celebration and delivered a speech. XIN Guobin, Vice Minister of MIIT, Chen Jie, Deputy Mayor of Shanghai, and LIU Mingsheng, Chairman of SPIC, also attended the celebration.

As one of the first-standing units of the China Gas Turbine Industry Innovation Alliance, HEU has supported China's independent research and development of heavy-duty gas turbines through collaboration with China United Gas Turbine Technology Co., Ltd., the main implementing unit of heavy-duty gas turbine projects. This collaboration extends to major, special, and basic research projects on aviation engines and gas turbines.

During the continuous operation of a gas turbine, maintaining a relatively high power output necessitates maintaining a temperature above 1000 degrees Celsius for tens of thousands of hours over an extended period. Achieving this requires extremely high material and technical standards for the gas turbine, along with comprehensive consideration of combustion chamber design based on multiple parameters such as combustion flames and combustibles.

The research team at HEU's College of Power and Energy Engineering has constructed a numerical simulation model for the combustion chamber and conducted temperature and concentration field tests using a dual approach. This effort provides robust theoretical and technical support for combustion chamber design.
